#### Sample Code for File Open

The sample code below should be entered inside the Edit window's Command mode and not inside the File I/O dialog box.

This code opens a file named TEST.TXT for reading, writing, and appending. It stores the file name to a file pointer named FPTR.

FPTR=FILE/OPEN,C:\PCDMISW\TEST.TXT,READ

FPTR=FILE/OPEN,C:\PCDMISW\TEST.TXT,WRITE

FPTR=FILE/OPEN,C:\PCDMISW\TEST.TXT,APPEND

Be aware that you can use an input comment to take the full pathway as an input and use it in a FILE/OPEN command. You can also do the same thing by using the FILE/DIALOG command. Consider these examples:

C1=COMMENT/INPUT,Type the full pathway and name of the file.

V1=FILE/DIALOG, CHOOSE A FILE TO OPEN

FPTR=FILE/OPEN,C1.INPUT,READ

FPTR=FILE/OPEN,V1,READ
